Dear diary,

Even though my parents asked me to go to the mines shopping center, which is located in Serdang, for having fun and ‘peace’, i refused to go there. Actually, I have my own reasons why I was reluctant to hang out with them. Today, I was quite happy as I have almost finished my university applications – UBC and the University of Minnesota win cities. I could say that I nearly became insane and lunatic as I had to translate all the documents such as certificates and testimonial to English. At the same time, I feel grateful because this situation has trained me to become a translator-my second ambition in my life.

Translating a document is not an easy thing to do. Sometimes, when we translate word by word, the sentence would not make sense. However, sometimes, it does work. I realized that I need to read more English and Malay news so that my vocabulary in both languages would increase. Today I got up very late in the morning – 11 p.m. Lately, I went to sleep quite late at night. I don’t know why it happened to me. As the school reopens this coming Monday, I have to correct my sleeping time so I could wake up early to school and sleep before midnight. I think that getting rest and enough sleep is vital in my life as an IB student; I would feel fresh, vigorous and energetic to do all my works.
Thank God because I have taken supplement which is fish oil capsule. It contains vitamin A, E and D. What do I feel after taking this capsule? Hmmm.. I still need to wait for the result.

I am afraid to get back to school because I have not finished homework that my teachers gave me last year. Huhuhu.. What to do now? No turning back. Whatever happens, I am compulsory to get it done because I don’t want my teachers to be upset with me soon. I have heard one saying ‘burning midnight oil’. Perhaps, it is time for me to practice as what mentioned in the saying. I wish I could get 35 points in mock exam which is around the corner. Practice makes perfect. I still remember, last time, one of my friends used to say this “Bukan senang nak senang, bukan susah nak susah”, and I agree with her. Imagination is one of the ways to encourage yourself to be more motivated. I have always imagined that I am in my future university and there are lots of other students who are around me studying and talking to each other. Then, I would be full-spirited and full of zeal to continue doing my homework and revising the subjects that I take in IB.

I have got to go because I feel very sleepy now. I wish I can have a better life from day to day. Insya-ALLAH.
